The Story of God and His People is Never Finished

We are starting a new series in Ezra-Nehemiah. The Books of Ezra and Nehemiah tell the epic story of God’s people returning to their land from captivity. The story goes like this, God raises up Cyrus, a Pagan evil king, to supply what is necessary to lead the rebuilding of the House of God in Israel. God actually works in the evil heart of Cyrus to fulfill His holy purpose and plan (Ezra 1; Prov. 21:1). God wants us to embrace the truth that in His unwavering sovereign work He can use whoever He wills, to do whatever He wills, whenever He wills it, for the sake of His people. And God still does this in an incomprehensible number of ways today.
